Yesterday, I had a wicked long volleyball tournament. Our region hosts these tournaments called fellowships, where you basically practice with your team, and try out new players who might want to join your team. You get “rated” as a scorekeeper or referee at these tournaments, so they don’t count for anyone, and you can’t get…
Nom nom nom! That’s the sound I made when I tasted my soup after it had been cooking in all of its veggie goodness overnight! In my totally humble opinion, this is my best lentil soup recipe to date! I have been fiddling around with different flavor combinations, and I think I finally achieved exactly…
I have been on a super wacky schedule lately; however, I have managed to (generally) stick to my modified Mediterranean Diet and lose a few more pounds. Eating more vegetables and lean protein is definitely helping my clothes fit a little looser, and my belly look a little slimmer. I’m not losing crazy amounts of…
This month, I had my first experience with attending an event as an ambassador. I woke myself (and my boyfriend) up super, duper early and drove up to Princeton University. What a gorgeous campus! I actually wanted to apply to their urban planning program a few years ago, but talked myself out of it (wuss)….
That’s how I would describe last weekend. You know how you can get a runner’s high? I think I had a parkour high! Last Saturday morning, early, early early in the morning, to the point where I beat the sun up and out the door (which almost never happens), I drove up to Princeton University…
Last Thursday kicked off the 2015-2016 NFL season. I am competing in fantasy football for the first time ever, and I’m actually doing two leagues — one with my family, and one with my buddies from work. I’m doing surprisingly well considering I have no idea what I’m doing! In preparation for watching my first…
In May, I completed my very first relay race. I loved the physical challenge of the relay, and I also loved getting the opportunity to bond with 5 other women in a van over 24 hours. Because I loved it so much, when I learned about running Ragnar DC for Girls On the Run of…
As you may have read in my last post, I absolutely love grains! Not only that, but I fell in love with freekeh after giving it a try this summer. One of my favorite ways to eat grains is by taking chicken and vegetables, creating a sauce, and pouring these ingredients on top of the…
Flecks of Lex Fun Fact: I have always been a grain-eating fool. Give me some chicken and vegetables in some kind of sauce, and I will use it to smother some grains like nobody’s business. When I was a kid, I used to eat rice and soy sauce as a snack, religiously. When I learned…
My Friday evenings… they’re pretty whack. Usually, I just do a little Netflix and chill, or OnDemand and chill. It’s not very exciting. If I want to mix it up, I might get something for dinner, or drink a glass of wine. It’s seriously unimaginative. A couple of weeks ago, my coworker Bertha told me…
